The politics we have as Americans ultimately is up to us. We can choose for our democracy to be a dreary march to the drab center or running over groups of people with a metaphorical bus. Or we can choose an imagination battle that realigns the center ...

This is terrible advice. We wrote a substantive response to it on the other major text based social media platform. We hope you will check it out there, and also please stop using this site.

Hello, it’s me in @nytopinion. The Democratic Party is historically unpopular & hemorrhaging working class voters. Focusing on the issue of climate change —an issue mainly impt to their educated/affluent base—is not a way to reverse this. This marks the end of an era. 👇

Reminder, we did a very good postmortem. It was based on a TON of data and studies, and focused on what voters actually thought more than intra-party drama. (sorry/not sorry) It was very difficult to write and if you're wanting a post-mortem, give up on the DNC's and read ours!

@treeaston Thank you! We've been arguing pretty vocally, but maybe not clearly enough, that ideology is super limited as both a heuristic for understanding voters and as an organizing principle for quite a while. Appendix II in that research summary gets at it.

Kudos to @WayToWinAF for doing some pretty exhaustive work on this front. I don't share all of their conclusions—the Democratic Party's perceived stance on certain social issues *is* a problem in my view—but even they conclude a purely ideological lens doesn't fit perfectly here. waytowin.docsend.com/view/e3nfk8heg…

Gaza certainly cost Kamala votes, but what the left gets wrong here is that there's not really sound evidence to suggest it cost her the whole election. Biden '20 voters who stayed home in '24 (a major cause of Kamala's loss) weren't uniformly leftist. They were very heterodox.

Leftists want you to simultaneously believe that 1. Gaza cost Kamala the election and 2. Leftists are not the reason she lost But unfortunately these can't both be true, so pick one!

This is some of the most interesting research I’ve done this cycle because it puts messages head to head. The outcome makes two things super clear for Democrats: 1. Connect with people on a personal level on the economy 2. Give them compelling villains (i.e. big corporations)

🧵BAM! We dropped a new Southern Battleground poll showing that across the Sunbelt, an economic populist message outperforms conventional Dem messaging—esp with voters Dems most need to persuade (i.e. less motivated Dems/double haters). W/ @Luke_W_Martin & @celindalake

off kilter Democratic priorities were. For these voters Gaza was part of an anti-Dem narrative more than an individually decisive issue. This was how we framed the net effect in our research summary, linked here - chartingthewayforward.substack.com/p/towards-stre…

In our research last year we tried very hard to not flatten Dem voters' views about Gaza. While certainly for some it was as simple as Harris/Biden = pro-genocide, for many more it was another example of how ...

I got really fired up in this convo with the @WayToWinAF team about what might be possible during this leadership vacuum on the left -- and why it's both very scary & very freeing. youtube.com/watch?v=_fSvml…

Democrats are launching a new plan to reengage skippers–voters who stayed home in 2024. @WayToWinAF’s Jenifer Fernandez Ancona said, these voters “weren’t uninformed…They just didn’t like what they heard” and are now “burned and cynical.” More @Politico: bit.ly/3NVQ5NI

"There is no one in charge anymore. That is both incredibly scary... but it is also so freeing. We have this incredible opportunity to reshape where we want the party to go, to reimagine the future." The best fightin' words from @amandalitman on a new Charting the Way Forward ep:

And the original thread for the research summary. This is a crucial question and we all want Dems to move forward with a stronger approach. Thank you for reading and sharing! x.com/WayToWinAF/sta…

We are very excited to be included in this! We spent a lot of '24 talking to voters and found profound alignment with Grumbach and Bonica's thinking. Dems have GOT to start thinking bigger than what is going to get them 1-2pts on the margin.
Boston Review@BostonReview

“While democracy faces an existential threat, pundits and strategists remain stuck in the past.” Now online, Adam Bonica and @JakeMGrumbach lead a large forum on Democrats’ timidity in the face of authoritarianism:
